Abstract:
Electrodeposition of copper is investigated in localized magnetic fields produced by linear arrays
of permanent magnets. The thickness and texture of the deposits depend on the magnitude and
direction of the field. The deposition rate is explained in terms of magnetic pressure on the
diffusion layer. Addition of non-electroactive GdCl

to the electrolyte inverts the structuring of the
electrodeposits, producing thick dendritic growth in regions where the field is smallest.
